This is terrible to hear about. I trust he was working with diluted HF, ie rust stain remover. Therefore he is still alive.

My only recommendation would be not to use HF at all. Most labs I speak to will not have HF (concentrated) because of it's toxicity. Reports of horrific painful deaths are common with a spill of concentrated HF to 2% of the body enough to be fatal.

I called in to see Paul yesterday as he is home from hospital and although he has some permanent nerve damage to his thumb, forefinger and right arm he is ok. When he arrived at emergency his ecg printout showed he was on the verge of cardiac arrest and was rushed straight to the intensive care resusitation unit for treatment. Definately one lucky fella who should be heading to the closest newsagent and filling his pockets with lotto tickets. Daily calcium tablets and blood tests are keeping a close eye on him but appears other than the nerve damage he will be just fine.

He would like to thank all the people who sent messages of support both here and via text/email.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
